Surround sound headphones

Assuming surround sound is supported in SH4, what surround sound headphones are you captains using?

I'm surrounded by a Creative 5.1 speaker system and SH4 seems to support it very well. Sounds are very directional, and I can rotate the view to locate airplanes just like you would turn your head to locate a sound. It's better than a headset!

Medusa - home edition 5.1

Spectacular sound. All those speakers makes them heavy, but still very comfortable even when used for extended periods.

Now I'm just waiting for for my Auzentech Prelude sound card to arrive... should be shipping this week.

I'm using the Medusa 5.1 Home editon too - fantastic set of head phones that come with a distribution box/amplifier. At the touch of a button you can select a different sound source (other than your PC if you want) and also switch from headphones to speaker set up, No messy plugging and un-plugging leads and no driver install required.

I got mine from Ebuyer.com (the UK one ...er cuz that's where I live)

Medusa do a ProGamer set of headphones (a bit cheaper) but from what I can tell it's the same set of headphones but without the distribution box and one more set called the mobile edition that also looks the same but it plugs directly into a USB port - I'm gussing they must have ther own 5.1 sound chip inside (maybe) so don't know how good or bad this one is.

well you can see tham all here

Medusa are excellent headphones, just make sure you dont buy the "pro gamer" edition because its a usb powered unit and very badly manufactured (can blow your usb ports).
